Bitcoin uses too much energy...

No it doesn't.

#1 The network requires compute for security (amongst other things). How that compute is powered is not determined by Bitcoin in the same way an EV is charged, the power source is indeterminate. Bitcoin DGAF where the power comes from, however lower cost energy is incentivized (more profit per btc mined) so as to encourage more efficient energy sources.

#2 Define too much? By comparing to what? What does it offer in return for the energy usage? Replacing fiat and all the waste that goes with it as well as the gold industry (for monetary purposes) it seems a pretty fair trade to me.
